I reached out to Grainne when I was at a very low point in my life, feeling anxious and overwhelmed. After 10 sessions with Grainne, I am in a much better place and thanks to her I have the tools and skillset needed to both protect and regulate my mental health and in turn my […]

"Having had a traumatic experience at work following years of high octane and stressful working at a senior level - I finally snapped. I felt broken and unable to continue.
